My native is Kerala and I am a graduate in B.Sc. (Electronic) Media. I joined PG Diploma in Visual Effects at ICAT, Chennai. ICAT offered good support through trainings at the industry standards and placements. By getting placed in Prime Focus, I could work in the famous Bollywood and other Indian projects. I’ve worked in some Telugu movies like Maska, Punnami Nagu, Elithrudu etc. and in upcoming Bollywood movies like Benaam and Don’t Disturb as a Junior Compositor and Paint Artist.

I’m from Kerala and I’m a graduate in B.Sc. Bio Technology. Because my background was in Bio Science, I didn’t have much knowledge in this visual effects field. I planned to pursue my PG course in Visual Effects at ICAT. The faculties here gave an idea about the production floor. The placement cell helped us to get a job at Prime Focus, Hyderabad and I have worked in two Bollywood projects and some Telugu projects. I work as a Roto and Paint Artist.

Hey I am Karthick. I am basically from Ooty. I did my B.Sc. (Vis.com) at Madras Christian College and further did a PG in VFX at ICAT. We learnt about the entire VFX production pipeline, from Pre-production to Post production. We then deeply studied about VFX, starting from Roto, Wire Removal, CG Compositing, Matte Painting, Tracking and so on. We had great support from ICAT, even after the regular class timings.
We had screenings of making of movies, many guest lecturers from the industry, technical seminars etc. We had a group project, which made us work as a team that was very useful while working in a production team in the industry. I have got placed in R&H, Hyderabad through the Placement department of ICAT. I've worked in projects namely, 'Night at the Museum', 'Land of the Lost' and 'They came from upstairs'.

This is Krishnamurthy (07PGVFX030). I have done my graduation in B.Sc. (Electronics) in SVU University, Tirupati. Due to immense interest in the VFX field, I joined ICAT in 2007 to pursue the Post Graduation course in VFX. Before joining ICAT, I had no clue on how to pursue a career in this field. But during the course, I was given lot of inputs about the industry, attended seminars organized by ICAT and also we had the best lecturers from the industry.
Now, I’m working as a Compositor in DQ Entertainment International Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad. I thank the Placement department of ICAT for giving me this opportunity to work in one of the well-known companies in India. Currently I’m working for the project – Casper Scare School.

I had a great experience pursuing the Post Graduate Diploma course in Visual Effects at ICAT. My interest in computer games attracted me towards this industry. After completing my B.Tech, I started looking for the best animation college in India. After googling in Internet, I found “ICAT”. ICAT was one of the animation colleges that gained my attention because it fit the criteria what I was looking at an animation college, like campus with best facilities and better placement.
ICAT curriculum is one of the best I would say, as it integrates art and technology according to industry standards. I highly recommend ICAT for students and other professionals looking for a way to expand their creativity and experience in the field of animation, gaming and visual effects.

I have done my B.Sc.(Math) is Madurai Kamaraj University. I was working as a Still Photographer at Madurai. I came to know about ICAT through a friend of mine, when I expressed my interest in doing a professional course in VFX. The content taught at ICAT was elaborate when compared to other institutions. It was good to do a full-time course than doing a part-time (2or3hrs) course in an institute. Here, we were able to learn from the industry professionals, who come as Guest Lecturers. As a Still Photographer, I was interested in getting into media. I was always interested in films.
ICAT really helped me to hone my skills and also choose the right path. Through ICAT placements, I was exposed to well known companies in India. The department supported us till we got a job placement. The brand, 'ICAT' has made us stand out in the crowd and we are given preference when compared to students from other institutes. At Pixion, Chennai I'm working as a Roto Paint Artist. I'm able to learn a lot here. I joined for Roto, but I'm allowed to work in compositing and tracking too.
I would like to help my juniors in guiding them with their projects and would like to give them inputs on the current trends in the industry. I was a part of Bollywood projects, namely 'Luck by Chance and Victory' which have been released in theatres. Currently, working in Hindi and Kannada projects. The Team Lead is happy with my outputs. VFX students should not only concentrate in Roto but also in other areas like paint, tracking and compositing for entering into this industry.
